“I’ll battle you anytime!” screams Passerby

Today I left work early and got to business.

I got to the CBC building a little early for my meeting with Jeremy and Lisa from CBC Radio 3. I assume they were still celebrating the 1 year anniversary of Radio 3 with barley, dough and cheese. Still, after a tour around the causeway and forlorn garden, they were there when I got back.

Jeremy was taller than I expected. He was wearing a cool wicker hat [probably to protect his memories, which I told him I wanted to steal after he told me he’d seen Test Dept. with the Striking Welsh Miners Choir when he was 16].

At the Radio 3 nerve centre we met up with Haig and Lisa. A chase then ensued through the seedier areas of the city. We passed bicycling juveniles with crack pipes. We passed derelict buildings. We passed Chinese ladies, hipsters and numerous prostitutes hitching rides. Haig followed doggedly all the while, even after we were turned back by the port authority and had to forego our glorious dreams of chemical storage tanks and massive ventilation chambers.

More circuitous rambling brought us to a parked chamical-tank rail car out back of the paint factory by the city pound.

After having a little chat with a fellow in a deisel truck who was in radio contact with a woman in the factory we were left alone. Except for passic traffic, trains and some skateboarding hecklers.

It was cool - I got to wear a lapel mic. We listened to ‘Iron Man’.
The thing airs in December.

Wait for it…
